Buddy's Blues

Hello, folks
We're into the Follies!
First, though, folks,
We'll pause for a mo'
No, no, folks,
You'll still get your jollies
It's just I got a problem that I think you should know
See, I've been very perturbed of late, very upset,
Very betwixt and between
The things that I want, I don't seem to get
The things that I get--you know what I mean!
I've got those
"God-why-don't-you-love-me-oh-you-do-I'll-see-you-later" blues
That "Long-as-you-ignore-me-you're-the-only-thing-that-matters" feeling
That "If-I'm-good-enough-for-you-you're-not-good-enough"
And "Thank-you-for-the-present-but-what's-wrong-with-It?" stuff
Those "Don't-come-any-closer-'cause-you-know-how-much-I-love-you" feelings
Those "Tell-me-that-you-love-me-oh-you-did-I-gotta-run-now" blues
Margie... wow... Margie...
She says she really loves me
I love you
She says
She says she really cares
I care, I CARE
She says that I'm her hero
My hero
She says
I'm perfect, she swears
You're perfect, goddamit
She says that if we parted-
If we parted-
She says
She says that she'd be sick
(vomit)
She says she's mine forever
Forever
She says
I gotta get outta here quick!
Don't go! Don't go!
I love you! I love you!
Come back!
I've got those
"Whisper-how-I'm-better-than-I-think-but-what-do-you-know?" blues
That "Why-do-you-keep-telling-me-I-stink-when-I-adore-you?" feeling
That "Say-I'm-all-the-world-to-you-you're-out-of-your-mind-
I-know-there's-someone-else-and-I-could-kiss-you-behind"
Those "You-say-I'm-terrific-but-your-taste-was-always-rotten" feelings
Those "Go-away-I-need-you"
"Come-to-me-I'll-kill-you"
"Darling-I'll-do-anything-to-keep-you-with-me-till-you-
Tell-me-that-you-love-me-oh-you-did-now-beat-it-will-you?" blues!
Sally... Oh... Sally...
She says she loves another
Another
She says
A fella she prefers
Furs. Furs
She says that he's her idol
Idolidolidolidol-
She says
Ideal, she avers
You deal..."Avers"!!
She says that anybody
Buddy-bleah!
She says,
Would suit her more than I
Aye, aye, aye
She says that I'm a washout
A washout
She says
I love her so much, I could die!
Get outta here!
Ooh. Ooh.
Ah! Ah!
Go away! Go away!
I've got those
"God-why-don't-you-love-me-oh-you-do-I'll-see-you-later" blues
Bla-bla-blues!
That "Long-as-you-ignore-me-you're-the-only-thing-that-matters" feeling
Feeling!
That "If-I'm-good-enough-for-you-you're-not-good-enough"
Woo!
And "Thank-you-for-the-present-but-what's-wrong-with-it?" stuff
Ooh-!
Those "Don't-come-any-closer-'cause-you-know-how-much-I-love-you" feelings
Bla-bla-blues!
That
"If-you-will-then-I-can't
If-you-don't-then-I-gotta
Give-it-to-me-I-don't-want-it
If-you-won't-I-gotta-have-it
High-low-wrong-right-
Yes-no-black-white
God-why-don't-you-love-me-oh-you-do-I'll-see-you-later"
Blues!
